What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The employment in a ring encircling the penis of a sharp pin or point attached to a spring which is held by a roller z', or other equivalent rest, so as to prevent the protrusion of the said pin Within the interior surface of the ring till distention of the penis occurs, and by its action on the spring causes its liberation from the roller or rest and thereby permits the said spring to force the pin or point into the penis, substantially as described, with a sudden action instead of With the gradual action peculiar to the points of other rings for the same purpose.

2. The combination of the tWo semi-circular or nearly semi-circular springs With the two rigid sockets, substantially as herein described, by means of a slot and set screw in one of the sockets which permits the ring of the instrument to be adjusted to organs of various sizes.
